THE SPECTATOR 42 IV. THE GUARDUN 65 V. CONCLUSION 79 BIBLIOGRAPHY 82 ill CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION AND PRECEDENTS The Tatler, Spectator, and Guardian are considered the best of the many endeavors of Addison and Steele in the genre of the periodical essay. All three surpassed any similar works which had appeared before them; and certainly the first two, if not the Guardian also, were never to be equalled. If any single feature appears in issue after issue, volume after volume, it is the letters of which the authors made ample use throughout each of the three periodicals. Over 850 letters or parts of letters were printed in the 272 issues of the Tat­ ler. 555 of the Spectator, and 175 of the Guardian. Some of these letters were authentic, having been submitted by readers most of whose identities must remain hidden behind initials and assumed pen names; many of the letters were fictitious, having been written by Addison or Steele for their own pur­ poses. Others were also written to or by Addison and Steele, but in their capacity as Addison and Steele and not as Mr. Spectator or Isaac Bickerstaff. There were a few letters of classical and other writers of former times which were used for illustrative purposes. In spite of this regular use of letters, the fact is usu­ ally mentioned only in passing by editors and scholars when discussing these periodicals. Typical of this practice is Professor C. Gregory Smith's comment in his notes to the 1 Everyman edition of the Spectator. He simply says that "the letters of correspondents became a feature of the Spectator."^ He then gives the number of the particular issues which stat­ ed Addison's position and mentions that "Steele was, as John­ son tells us, much beholden to outside copyI" Johnson him­ self barely touches on the subject in his Life of Addison: The Spectator had many contributors; and Steele, whose negligence kept him always in a hurry, when it was his turn to furnish a paper, called loudly for letters, of which Addison, whose materials were more, made little use.2 Johnson's oversight is worse than Smith's, not only because he unfairly slights the accomplishment of Steele in order to show Addison in a better light, but because his statement im­ plies that the letters, far from being an important part, were actually rather extraneous to the "real" Spectator. A somewhat more favorable comment, yet one still lacking the proper perspective, is Richmond P. Bond's in the Introduction of Studies in the Early English Periodicals. He says the "Tatler and Spectator laced rather than diluted their essays with correspondence both genuine and minted for the issue."^ ^C. Gregory Smith (ed.). The Spectator (London: J.M. Dent and Sons Ltd., Everyman's Library, 1963), I, 514. ^Samuel Johnson, Lives of the English Poets, ed. G.B. Hill (Oxford, 1905), II, 108. ^Richmond P. Bond, Studies in the Early English Peri­ odical (Chapel Hill: The University of North Carolina Press, 195777 P- 19. However complimentary Bond may be, he still failed to view the letters as an Integral part of the periodicals rather than something "tacked on," as the use of the word "laced" suggests. In this sense, he is almost as inaccurate as the others in his treatment of the letters; certainly he is just as incomplete, for he says no more about them. But Bond did atone for both his inaccuracy and incom­ pleteness in another Introduction, this time to his edition of New Letters to the Tatler and Spectator. After dealing extensively with the variety of letters used, while saying very little about the actual uses and functions of the let­ ters, he concludes with this statement: The letter became not an adjunct or a merely congenial accessory but a component contri­ buting abundance and variety to the central unity of these two Augustan journals.^ He recognizes the letters as' a "component" rather than an "accessory," but he failed to see that they contributed more than "variety and abundance" to the periodicals. For the most part. Bond discusses the use of letters in the Spectator rath­ er than In the Spectator and Tatler; the Guardian is not even mentioned. The only other scholar who has gone beyond merely men­ tioning that letters were used throughout the periodicals is ^Richmond P. Bond, New Letters to the Tatler and Spec­ tator (Austin: University of Texas Press, 1959), p. 14. Hereafter referred to as Bond. Henry Pettit.5 His discussion, like Bond's, is mostly con- cerned with the Spectator, little with the Tatler. and not at all with the Guardian. Also, his discussion is limited to the use of the letters solely in relation to Steele as an ed­ itor. I generally agree with his conclusions as far as they go, but because of the one-sided nature of his discussion, his conclusions are incomplete. In addition, he makes a few questionable statements which I will take issue with in later chapters. Thus, although Addison and Steele used letters in their major periodicals to the extent that almost everyone who has since written about those periodicals has recognized their presence (the sheer number of the letters in the periodicals cannot be ignored), very few have gone beyond the single statement; and even the discussions of those few are incom­ plete, being limited usually to the letters found in the Spectator and to the variety of letters used. In effect, the full significance of the use of letters in the Tatler, Spec­ tator, and Guardian has never been discussed; all o^ the rea­ sons for this use have never been given; and the relation of this use of letters, not only to Addison, Steele, and other contributors, but to the format of the periodicals has never been accurately or completely understood. This thesis will 5Henry Pettlt, "Letters to the Editor: Steele's Famil­ iar Way of Writing," University of Colorado Studies. Series In Language and Literature. No. 9 (August, 1963), pp. 92-99. Hereafter referred to as Pettlt. 5 resolve all of the preceding problems. As Calhoun Wlnton says when referring to the Tatler and Spectator in his biography of Steele, "almost everything in both papers had been anticipated somewhere, in some periodi­ cal. "6 "Almost everything" Included the use of letters. Not only was there a pre-established interest in publishing let­ ters when the Tatler first appeared in 1709, the English had been receiving most of their news by letter and by news peri­ odicals in letter form for over a century; therefore the use of letters to convey news, political or social, did not in the least way seem strange to them. In addition, several prominent periodicals preceding the Tatler had been built en­ tirely around a questlon-and-answer motif. Because all of these practices did exert some influence upon Addison and Steele's use of letters in their own periodicals, they must be recognized in this thesis, if only cursorily examined. The Interest li^ letters prior to the time of the Tatler cannot be denied, Helen Sard Hughes makes this point very clear; she also lists several conditions in the seventeenth century which were conducive to the interest in letters in the eighteenth century: Letter-writing for purposes of literature or real life received impetus in the seven­ teenth century from several sources: (1) the emphasis in the school curriculum on the "Calhoun Wlnton, Captain Steele (Baltimore: The Johns Hopkins Press, 1964), p. 105. Hereafter referred to as Win- ton. translation and imitation of Latin epistles; (2) the vogue of the familiar letter in France and England; (3) the Improvement of the postal system in the second half of the seventeenth century, facilitating and stimulating corre­ spondence; (4) the editing of newspapers and periodicals in letter form; (5) the publica­ tion of numerous manuals of letter writing.' Of special importance as a precedent for the Tatler. Spec­ tator. 8ind Guardian is number four: "the editing of news­ papers and periodicals in letter form." The publication of printed news was not sanctioned in England until the end of the reign of James I.® Many states­ men and wealthy families, however, had their own private let­ ter writers to keep them informed. According to Symonds, these professional writers of "letters of news" eventually became quite common. Thus, the term "newsletter" originally had a very literal meaning. Most of the early newspapers were in the form of letters or Included letters in their for­ mat because most of the news the papers received was derived from real letters. Even closer to the work of Addison and Steele, tempo­ rally as well as stylistically, than were the early newspapers ^Helen Sard Hughes, "English Epistolary Fiction Before Pamela," The Manly Anniversary Studies in Language and Literature (Chicago; The University of Chicago Press, 1923), p. 156. 8R.V.

  • Cinema, Rhetoric, and Subjectivity
    Seeing Voices: Cinema, Rhetoric, and Subjectivity James Martin, Goldsmiths, University of London Abstract What can film teach us about political rhetoric? Although many different types of speech and argument are to be found in cinematic productions, films rarely present a single or clear-cut argumentative case like a formal oration. Instead, dialogue conforms to a wider narrative process, anchoring speech in cinema’s visual form of storytelling. But if, as Richard Rushton claims, films can present narrative arguments that depict the tentative formation of subjectivity, we still need to account for the way audiences are lured into identifying with those nar- ratives. In this paper I draw upon Lacanian film theory – specifically the notion of “the gaze” – to explain how film enacts a form of rhetorical “exigence” that disrupts the visual field to stimulate spectators’ desire and invite resolution. Two recent films about Churchill are used to illustrate this point. Political rhetoric, I conclude, might therefore usefully be conceived as a visually oriented practice. Keywords: Winston Churchill, rhetoric, cinema, psychoanalysis 1. Introduction What can cinema tell us about political rhetoric? There are, without a doubt, many great moments of oratory to be found in cinema films, as well as strik- ing turns of phrase, sharp verbal exchanges or revealing deliberations. Cinema enables spectators to experience a deep, affective involvement with individuals, their actions, and their utterances that would make any speech writer envious. But spoken rhetoric in film rarely does the work that an entire speech does in public or political life, even when the story is about political figures.

    Fraser Nelson Editor, The Spectator Media Masters – September 12, 2019 Listen to the podcast online, visit www.mediamasters.fm Welcome to Media Masters, a series of one-to-one interviews with people at the top of the media game. Today I’m joined by Fraser Nelson, editor of The Spectator, the world’s oldest weekly magazine. Under his 10-year editorship it has reached a print circulation of over 70,000, the highest in its 190-year history. Previously political editor and associate editor, his roles elsewhere have included political columnist for the News of the World, political editor at the Scotsman, and business reporter with the Times. He is a board director with the Centre for Policy Studies, and the recipient of a number of awards, including the British Society of Magazine Editors’ ‘Editors’ Editor of the Year’. Fraser, thank you for joining me. Great pleasure to be here. Allie, who writes these introductions for me, clearly hates me. Editors’ Editor of the Year from the Editors’ Society. What’s that? Yes, it is, because it used to be ‘Editor of the Year’ back in the old days, and then you got this massive inflation, so now every award they give is now Editor of the Year (something or another). I see. Now that leads to a problem, so what do you call the overall award? Yes, the top one. The grand enchilada. Yes. So it’s actually a great honour. They ask other editors to vote every year. Wow. So this isn’t a panel of judges who decides the number one title, it’s other editors, and they vote for who’s going to be the ‘Editors’ Editor of the Year’, and you walk off with this lovely big trophy.

  • Dafydd Jones: the Last Hurrah Dafydd Jones: the Last Hurrah 3 Aug–8 Sep 2018
    PRINT SALES GALLERY 3 AUG–8 SEP 2018 DAFYDD JONES: THE LAST HURRAH DAFYDD JONES: THE LAST HURRAH 3 AUG–8 SEP 2018 Snoggers, Hammersmtih Palais, London, 1981 British photographer Dafydd Jones (b.1956) has worked as social photographer since the early 1980s, contracted by such publications as Tatler, Vanity Fair, The New York Observer, The Sunday Telegraph, The Times and Independent. After winning a prize in a photography competition run by The Sunday Times magazine in 1981 with a set of pictures of the ‘Bright Young Things’, Jones was hired by Tatler magazine editor Tina Brown to photograph Hunt Balls, society weddings and debutante dances. This exhibition explores Jones’s behind-the-scenes images taken in the years that followed, between 1981-1989, known as ‘The Tatler Years’. “I had access to what felt like a secret world. It was a subject that had been written about and dramatised but I don’t think any photographers had ever tackled before. There was a change going on. Someone described it as a ‘last hurrah’ of the upper classes.” SELECTED PRESS THE GUARDIAN, 8 AUG 2018 I took this shot at Oriel College, Oxford, in 1984. I had heard that whoever won the summer rowing competition would set fire to a boat in celebration. Oriel had won seven years in a row at that point, and I remember there were complaints that it was all getting out of hand. The whole event was slightly mad. After a long, boozy dinner, groups of suited men would run arm-in-arm and jump through the blaze, or dash through the embers in their smart shoes.

Link to schedule: http://bit.ly/1mcr63C Course Description This course will converge at the intersection of literature and journalism. We will: 1. Explore the mission of journalism by looking under the hood of that form described as literary journalism. 2. Recognize that the field of journalism has pliable borders and how this genre stretches those borders into other fields. As one former student of this class concluded after much discussion over many weeks about the subjectivity inherent in journalism as literature: “Literary journalism is journalism – but in another place.” 3. Reach some semblance of an understanding about the notions of objectivity and subjectivity and their relevance to the journalistic act because – and this is a mantra for this class: “All pain is anecdotal.” And therefore, the question is: “Can journalism employ the contested notion of “objectivity” to measure that pain – that is the straits, the troubles and the tribulations of complex and often marginalized lives lived at the periphery of our vision? 4. Reveal – in relation to the notion that “all pain is anecdotal” – the intersubjective possibilities of this form of journalism and reach some conclusions about the significance to our world views and to democracy in general of empathetically revealing – through anecdote / narrative / metaphor / internal dialogue, etc.
